The following is the care given a hen and her chicks by a successful poultry keeper: "My little 'sitting' house has nests for sixteen hens, and I try to set as many at a time as I can. When the chicks are hatched I take them out of the nests and put them In a big market basket with a warm woolen cloth to cover them. Then selecting the hens that seem the most anxious about their chicks I put the hens In little 'A' coops, made with the slats perpendicu lar, the back boarded up, the upper half of back hinged to lower half and held in place by button at top. Made In this way the hen can be got at easi ly or a dead chick taken out of the coop without difficulty, and on a cold, HAND! HENCOOP. [Fig. 1, unfinished coop; Fig. 2. coop com pleted.] windy day the wind does not sweep through the coop, chilling the chickens, as it does when both ends of the coop are slatted. "I place two of these coops about ten feet apart and connect them by two frames, one covered with inch mesh wire netting for front and back frame covered with half inch matched boards, with a door at each end, so as to get at the front of the coops with feed and water. As the top part of the front frame is made of a board a foot wide, thus more than half of the runaway Is kept dry, and the chicks can run around on a rainy day without get ting wet and are safe from hawks and 'varmints.' As these frames are only fastened to the coops by a nail or screw, they can be taken off and stored away in a shed in the fall. When chicks are hatched in cold weather I X>ut only fifteen with each hen. In May or the last of April I put twenty to-twenty-five with each hen. "As the chicks are all the same color and age, the hens do not know their own chicks and will take any of them. The chicks remain with the hen as long as she will mother them."—Business Hen. AERATION OF MILK. P>«ttr Bad to Perform This Opera tion In the Barnyard. By aeration of milk we understand the exposing of milk to air, of tho forc ing of air Into milk. The theory of the practice is that the oxygen of the air purifies or improves the inllk, and at the same time gases or volatile oils which are In the milk are enabled to pass away. It is true that if the air to which the milk is exposed or which Is forced into the milk is perfectly pure the result undoubtedly is an im provement in the flavor and physical quality of the milk, but in many cases the air Is not pure, and very often as much harm as good Is done, says Pro fessor H. H. Dean of Canada In Ameri can Agriculturist. The Bcnelt of Aeration. Now, to my mind for a man to areate milk In a barnyard is one of the worst things he could possibly do. I speak from experience. We have milked our cows In the yard, which, I think, la kept a good deal cleaner than the av erage barnyard. We have put the aerator over the fence, milked the cows and have let the milk ruu down over the aerator. The result was that we got some of the worst milk we could possibly have. Unless the air Is pure I think It would be best to cool the milk with as little aeration as possible. The chief benefit from aeration, to my mind, is the opportunity that Is given for any bad flavors arising from undesirable feed or indigestion on the part of the cow to pass away. There Is also a certain amount of cooling which is ad vantageous. Popular Standard Berrien. The Ohio experiment station has for some years been reporting upon tho be havior of strawberries under test. As the result of careful study and repeated trials of new varieties, the station Is led to the apparently reasonable con clusion that a new sort which gives a food account of itself two or more sea rons iu succession in the same locality, but under different conditions of soil, moisture and temperature, possesses merit not only for that particular sec tion, but promises to be more or less cosmopolitan In its nature—to succeed well over a wider range of soils and un der even more varied conditions. Thus It was that the Wilson, Crescent, Bu bach, Haverland, Warfleld and more recently the Sample, Parson's Beauty nnd Senator Dunlap, generally behaved well In the hands of experimenters and became well and widely known, popu lar and standards of their kind. • Care of the Separator. Wash the separator bowl and all tin ware with cold water and then with warm water, using a brush to polish the surface and clean out the seams nnd cracks. Finally scald with boiling .water, leaving the parts of the bowl and tinware to dry In some place where they will be protected from dust. Do not wipe the bowl and tinware with fl cloth or drying towel. Heat them so hot with steam or boiling water that wiping Is unnecessary. TRANSPLANTING ONIONS. When the SeedllnKs Are Ilendy—C'nl tlrntlnc and Fertilizing:. As soon as the onlous are about as thick as a lead pencil dig up carefully with a digging fork to obtain as many roots as possible, shearing about four inches of top growth and packing lu flats or baskets with wet sphagnum moss to save from wilting. Tin; young plants are now transferred to their |>cnnanont quarters as soon us possi ble, planting In well enriched ground hi | drills about three Inches deep and six-' teen Inches apart, for Prize Taker six Inches apart In the row and for others four Inches apart. After trans planting the soil is well firmed and wa tered thoroughly. If the weather be dry, follow on twice a week with cul tivation by a wheel hoe. Alternate dressings of soot, nitrate of soda and commerriul fertilizer nro given and thoroughly cultivated in after each sowing. I find soot Is a good preventive of thrip, which has proved at times very disastrous to onions. —tleorge Stunden. Alfalfa Seed. The Ohio experiment station states that at least a dozen new weeds have been Introduced Into Ohio alfalfa seed during half as many years. While this Is unacceptable. It is still more so to ; get only black inedlck (yellow trefoil) plants, as many have done, where sup posed alfalfa seed was sown. In these times of high priced seeds there Is temptation to adulterate with cheap seeds like the black medlck, etc., which have very slight value as forage plants with us. There Is like disposition to offer seeds with many weed seeds at low prices. Both these dangers are real. . I Are You Tired, Nervous and Sleepless? Nervousness and sleeplessness ara sq ually du« to the (act that the nerve* are not fod on properly nourishing blood; they are starved nerves. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes pur*, rich blood , and thereby the nerves are properly nourished and all the organs of the body are run as smoothly as machin ery which runs in oil. In this way yoa feel clean, strong and strenuous—yoa are toned up and invigorated, and you are good for a whole lot of physical or mental work. Best of all, the strength and In crease In vitality and health are lasting. The trouble with most tonics and med icines which have a large, booming sale for a short time. Is that they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red blood corpuscles, and in the long run creatly Injures the «y»tem. One may feel exhilarated and better for the timo being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol. Every bottle of it bears upon its wrapper The Badge of Honesty, in a full list of all its several ingredients. For the druggist to offer you something he claims Is "just as good " is to insult your intelligence. Every ingredient entering into the world-famed "Golden Medical Discovery " has the unanimous approval and endorse ment of the leading medical authorities of all the several schools of practice. Iso other medlcino sold through druggists for like purposes has any sucn endorsement. The "Golden Medical Discovery" not only produces all the good effects to be obtained from the use of Golden beal root, in all stomach, liver and bowel troubles, as in dyspepsia, biliousness, con stipation, ulceration of stomach and bowels and kindred ailments, but the Golden Seal root used In its compound ing is greatly enhanced in its curative ac tion by other ingredients such as Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot, Man drake root and chemically pure trlple reßned glycerine.
